Would You Do The Gastric Sleeve Again?



Recommended Posts

I'm wanting view points on the gastric sleeve. If you have had the procedure would you do it again? What are the long term results? I would like to have the surgery in July.

Hey, Barb! Welcome. I don't know how many responses you'll get in pre-op. You might try reporting in the post-op thread. You can also do a search for something like "would you do it again"? I know I've seen at least two different threads like that.

Good luck on your Quest.

Yep, in a flash! It saved my life. I am now healthier than I have been since childhood.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. and Yes.

Now, had you asked me the first month I would've said no. The first month was HARD. But I'm not even at month 3 yet and I'm so happy. I feel great, I can move again, I'm out doing stuff with my friends and family, I'm walking and exercising and dancing and just flat out enjoying life like I haven't in years. And I'm still 225 pounds! I just see things getter better and better as I drop more weight.

So yes, I'd totally do it again.

I would have it done again in a heart beat! I have completely changed my old eating habits and I keep it high in Proteins. Once in a while I will eat less than 1/2 of an In N Out Double double but really don't enjoy the bun anymore. i just had one and now my stomach is not liking it. Blahhhhhh! My head hunger got the best of me. I highly recommend it to whom ever is interested. ;)

I'm only 10 days out, so I don't know what my long term results will be, but I love my sleeve already and would do it again in an instant!! If I could have lost weight & kept it off without surgery, then I would have, but I couldn't & I'm so thrilled with my choice!!

I had mine done on the 11th of this month and even though u have to relearn how to drink and eat I'm happy I did it. The sleeve makes u more aware of what your putting in it and if its a no go...quite quickly!! Lol!! Good luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
